That being said, when you think of ‘Maine seafood,’ a fast-food fish sandwich probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind, is it?

So, given all that, who decides which fast-food chain serves the worst fish sandwich? And what criteria is this based on?

Wilder Shaw, a food writer at Cheapism with over a decade of experience, taste-tested and ranked seven fast-food fried fish sandwiches based on his personal preferences. His report aims to highlight an often-overlooked menu item, providing readers with insights on where to find the best options.

Alright, now that we’ve covered that, which fast-food fried fish sandwich available in Maine is considered the worst across the board?

According to Cheapism and their report, ‘Fast-Food Fried Fish Sandwiches, Ranked,’ the worst fried fish sandwich on the list comes from Burger King. Cheapism had this to say about their selection:

Foof. This is by far the fishiest of the fish sandwiches I tasted, and believe it or not, that’s not a great thing. Good fish, fresh fish, doesn’t taste fishy. It has tons of clean flavor but that flavor isn’t supposed to be fishy. This guy has pickles on it, which I appreciate, but there’s an unsettling feeling after each bite, wondering exactly what you just put in your mouth.

Listen, we get it—this might come across as a little harsh, and we want to be clear that we love Burger King just as much as anyone.

Cheapism even admitted they hope they just got a bad one, so this isn’t to say the fish sandwich is necessarily bad—just that this was one publication’s opinion.

So, there you have it—the worst fast-food fried fish sandwich can be found at any of the 27 Burger King locations in Maine.

What are your thoughts on Cheapism's findings? Do you agree, or would a different fish sandwich have landed at the bottom of your list? We’d love to hear from you! Feel free to join the conversation by messaging us on the app.
